Dear Friends,
I've recently joined a company that is very traditional, and they want to start off Training & Development in their organization. It is a very challenging and interesting job, but staff who are very senior and have worked for more than 10-15 years - how will they respond to training? People here are very strong in their technical skills, so obviously, there would be a lot of attitude issues when it comes to sitting in a training session. I'm really confused about how to take this forward.
Seniors, I request you to provide your valuable ideas.
Thanks in advance!!!

I am glad to know that your management has shown interest in offering training to your employees. It involves a cost. Your employees must understand "why they need to be trained?" and "what are the benefits associated with training?". If they fail to understand, educate them. TNA must identify "LEARNING OBJECTIVES" that must be associated with the respective module aligned with the ORGANIZATION'S BUSINESS OBJECTIVES, which can support EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE ISSUES such as what needs to be increased and what needs to be decreased; that is nothing but the outcome.
It is a very common issue wherein employees have opposed training activities, which is due to the absence of a NON-LEARNING CULTURE that you need to work on. This also reflects their NON-LEARNING ATTITUDE, EGO, NON-FLEXIBLE NATURE, and maybe more.
No doubt your employees possess strong TECHNICAL SKILLS, but the question is, "are they competent enough to take up various responsibilities assigned to them? How successful are they in producing desired results as per KRA & KPI's defined?
I recommend you focus on NEED-BASED TRAINING as your staff are experienced employees. They can also be coached for better performance. You can modify your PA to measure post-training performance.
With profound regards

Hi,
Following are few points you need to focus on:
1. Prior to commencing any training intervention it is important to conduct a thorough TNA to be sure of the relevance of any specific training intervention you plan to roll out.
2. Ensure that any training intervention you plan, is highly “Engaging”. Start off with short sessions of about two hours each with lot of experience sharing and solution finding games etc.
3. Start with a small team of participants. Once they start linking it, others will come forward proactively.
4. There is no easy way to address any “change”. So don't expect sudden results in productivity with a single program.
There is a lot to share but cant fit all the content here.We have helped may organizations overcome these situations and can surely share views with you too.
Please feel free to call me at 080 4114 4661 to discuss in detail.
